What did you spend your third transfer on?
Having been a window taking care of my children alone has been a struggle mainly when my two children joined their high school education .Now I am happy seeing them go to school with ease since I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for them as before the transfer they were almost being school drop-out due to a lump-sum school fees arrears they had .I bought a bag of maize for my family consumption.I also paid deposit for a solar lamp and now my children are able to study comfortable at night without any worries of the paraffin getting exhausted from the traditional lantern.
